Re: mounting torsion springs
Our team used two torsion springs on our climber. See the pictures below. If you need more detailed pictures or have any questions feel free to ask.

Its pretty straight forward using 1/4-20 rod, nuts, and washers. One rod is mounted on our upper arm and two on the lower arm one acting to hold the coil.
